A shocking number of the neocloud teams have exactly one skill set: raising money.

A few of them also have locked in power agreements.

Almost none of them have the expertise to build anything. Some of them are even outsourcing that to geezer tech and consulting shops.

It's not going to go well.

No. xAI is buying Nvidia, not using Tesla chips.

Are you implying that it might be exploited by unethical tech bros looking to build data sets?

It is a very manual process and would probably be an inefficient way to collect that data.

The tech companies will just use face recognition, tracing, gait recognition, unique properties (like scratches) etc. etc. for the same purpose, same way they pioneered browser fingerprinting.

Attacks in general are all rare in practice in the grand scheme of the internet. So?

Yes, that's why you present a better argument, that's the entire conversation.

It’s html. Which is code that your browser executes.

Millions of routers are compromised. BGP attacks happen. Anything http stands out as an interesting target for injection.

This position is foolish. It’s not a major ask to enable https.

For a random blog you have never visited before and have no reason to trust. It could attempt to do all the malicious things that you are worried a man in the middle would do.

The browser still has to execute code over HTTPS. You've just moved the injection perimeter from inside my own network into the providers website. I don't think you've fundamentally changed your level of risk unless you spend a huge amount of time browsing on shared password WPA protected wifi networks.

You cannot browse to sites under any regime and execute code while expecting security to exist.

> BGP attacks happen.

If you control the IP a domain name points to, you can get a certificate issued. Https might help on a small BGP takeover, but it might very well not.

>I guarantee you're not getting "all kinds of MITM injections" on this block of text

You actually can’t guarantee anything of the sort. BGP hijacks are real.

The film is very much better than the book. The sequel books, however, are not good. At all.

Yes. Spoiler: Mars attacks. Really.

I could live with Mars attacks. The portrayal of Colossus' inhumanity was unbearably sadistic. I can understand why it was never made into a movie.

? can you expand?
